PART 2

Chapter 1 - Kouga vs. the determined King


Kouga growled as he made his way towards the cleaners. 'Fucking commander ain't know shit, hell, I should be commander!' He thought, images of Miroku being cut throated appeared and made Kouga grinned. "Yeah… I should of shot him when I had the chance…"

"Oh, you're back already?" One of the hand car-washer asked as he carried another bucket of water out.

Kouga glared at him. "Shouldn't you be done by now?"

"Why, you just left your car here only 20 minutes ago, we can't wash that fast." The guy replied.

Kouga grinned and took out his pistol. "Oh yeah?" He pointed it at the guy.

The guy's eyes widen. "Why sir, we can fasten the pace if that's what you like." He said, scared.

"Heh, you're just a waste of a life anyways." Kouga said and put the gun back. "Carry on."

The scared guy quickly grab a cloth and started scrubbing the car, as of the rest of the washers.

Kouga watched them. 'They sure value their worthless lives…' He thought. 'Hmmm…' Kouga grinned when an idea came to him. "Yalls take care of my car ya hear? I'll be back."

The guys nodded, nervously.

"Heh." Kouga turned and left, heading for the castle.

"Holt!" The guards at the castle's entrance stopped Kouga from entering.

"Move it!" Kouga growled.

The guards glared at Kouga's rudeness but move aside, after all, Kouga's part of the national guards and to any due respect, have the right to enter.

Kouga made his way through the entrance garden and towards the main gate. He jumped the gate and headed for the door. He knocked against it and a voice asked for identity. "Kouga of the National Guards, came by order of the King." He lied smoothly.

The door immediately opened.

Kouga entered and headed for the King's corridor.

"Wait sir, let me escort you." A butler followed.

Kouga turned towards him. "If you don't mind, it's personal."

The butler nodded and went back to his chores.

Kouga opened the door of the corridor and entered, he closed it after him.

The King turned around from his royal chair. "Who dares enter?" He asked, seemingly annoyed.

Kouga just grinned. "I guess you had just got off the phone with Commander Miroku?"

The King ignored Kouga's comment. "Why are you here? The copret is still on the loose. I demand his head."

Kouga growled slightly. "You are in no position to tell me what to do." He said, then approached the King.

The King watched as Kouga made his way towards him. "And why is that?"

Kouga's grin got nastier. He took out his pistol and pointed it at the King.

The King didn't seem scared or frightened though, he stared wit cold, unblinking dark grayish eyes at Kouga.

Kouga moved closer until the pistol is against the King's head. "You know, I've thought hard about the orders and I don't see how you can assign that perv of a low life the roll of commander when rightfully, it belongs to me."

The King scoffed at that. "Maybe it's the same reason as why you have this pistol against my head."

Kouga's eyes got narrower. "Do you think it's wise for you to act as if your in a position to talk back?" He asked threatening. "I could as easily press this trigger and blast your brains out."

"Feh, go ahead and do what you will." The King kept his gaze at Kouga.

Kouga growled again. "Aren't you afraid to die you stupid old man?"

"Hmm.. Life is really pointless if you ask me…its all a game in my eyes." The King responded, calmly as ever.

"Daddy." A girl spoke as the door opened and closed. She turned towards the King and gasped when seeing Kouga pointing a gun at her dad.

Kouga grinned. He moved his pistol towards Kagome, who backed against the door scared, and leaned near the king's ear. "Life's a game huh? Well, want to find out right now how many lives does the princess have?"

"Daddy." Kagome whimpered frightened.

The King glared at Kouga. "Do as you will, just know you won't get out of this castle alive."

Kouga's face faulted. The king had a point but he tried to keep as if he is in control. "Don't think I won't do it, all I have to do is press this trigger and there goes your precious daughter."

Kagome heard that and she glared hard at Kouga. "Kouga! How dare you say that?" She asked, sounding pissed.

Kouga turned towards her, kind of surprised at her tone. "What precious?"

"Don't you what precious me. I demand you put that pistol down this instant!" Kagome ordered, trying to sound high in authority, yet deep down she was scared out of her mind.

Kouga sighed and point the pistol back at the King.

"I said put that pistol down!" Kagome said again.

Kouga chuckled softly. "You actually think I obeyed your request? No honey, I wasn't going to kill you anyway, there is no point." He of course knew that if he hurt Kagome, the King will personally kill him and for the fact that he cant kill her anyways because of personal reasons.

Kouga leaned against the King and chuckled again. "So, any last requests?"

The King smiled. "Everybody wants to be in control these days, but isn't that how you win the game? Gain dominance? Obtain fear?" He asked.

"Don't play with me old man. You are nearing my last nerves." Kouga growled.

Kagome took that time to sneak behind Kouga. She grabbed a long metal candle stick holder near her and quietly/steadily raised it above Kouga.

"You know what? With you out of the way, I'll be in charge of this kingdom." Kouga grinned wider. "I'm the only one fit since I defeated the almightly king isn't that right?"

"No one will follow the likes of you." The King replied.

"The likes of me?" Kouga repeated, questionably.

"The likes of a coward." The King explained.

"A coward huh?" Kouga seethed. "I'll show you whose a coward." Kouga's finger started to press against the trigger. "Say goodnight old man."

"GOODNIGHT!" Kagome yelled and slammed the metal bar upon Kouga's head.

"Uhh…" Kouga groaned as the pistol fell out of his hand and he collapsed.

Kagome stood there, surprised at what she had done. She then turned to her father and immediately ran into his arms. "Oh daddy!" She exclaimed, hugging him.

He embraced her back. "Good job Kagome, you acted very brave."

"Hm hmm.." She press her face against his chest, still amazed at what she did... happy she saved her father.

"Go call the guards to take him to the dungeon." The King then ordered Kagome, gesturing to Kouga as he said 'him'.

"Yes father." Kagome backed away from the king and made her way out.
